ⓘ About Isabel Cañas

Isabel Cañas A graduate of the Clarion West Writers Workshop, Isabel Cañas is a Mexican-American speculative fiction writer. Her debut novel, “The Hacienda” is placed in the time following the Mexican War of Independence. “The Hacienda” is full of supernatural suspense, sinister hauntings, and a bone-chilling gothic story layered with tension and romance. The story has been described as “Rebecca meets Mexican Gothic”. Tragically, Beatriz’s father is executed during the overthrow of the Mexican government. Her home is destroyed and she is now a woman alone, totally vulnerable and in danger during a very threatening political time. Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposes to Beatriz and she decides to accept; she needs the security his estate can give her.
